[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Washington, DC. If a parent can eke out a slight competitive advantage over their peers by redshirting their precious snowflake, they will.[/quote] I’ve had two kids go through K in upper NW and I find red shirting in DCPS is not common because you miss out on your PK4 opportunity. The only kids who were not right-aged for K in either of my kids’ classes were children who moved to DC from a district where there was a different cut off. So they lived in a state with a 9/1 cut off, but have a 9/18 birthday, moved to DC without having done K and were able to enroll in K although they would have been eligible the previous year in DC based off DC’s 9/30 cut off.[/quote]
